IN RESPONSE TO SENATE RESOLUTION OF APRIL 14, 1897, A
STATEMENT PREPARED BY THE CHIEF OF THE DIVISION OF
FORESTRY REGARDING WHITE PINE TIMBER SUPPLIES.

APRIL 19, 1897.—Referred to the Committee on Finance and ordered to be printed.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, D. C., April 15, 1897.

Sir: Pursuant to the resolution of your honorable body, dated April
14, 1897, asking for information regarding white-pine timber supplies,
I have the honor to transmit a statement prepared under my direction
by the chief of the division of forestry, which will conform at least with
the spirit of the resolution.

I regret that the information at hand does not permit of 4 more
concise statement of this important question, but believe that the
statement contains the closest possible approximation to actual facts
and furnishes a striking argument for the need of r tional forest
management. ff

Respectfully, JAMEF. WILSON,
Secretary.

would it be possible to ascertain such, if for no other reason than that
the methods of utilization, which are largely dependent on changes of
local and market conditions, change the amounts of material considered
merchantable, harvested, or sawed from a given forest growth, the
conception of what constitutes merchantable timber varying.

In the following statement, therefore, only a general survey of the
reported facts has been attempted for the purpose of making clear
the situation regarding the supply and consumption of coniferous wood
in the United States. In this the more or less partial estimates of dis-
interested parties, combined with a professional knowledge of possi-
bilities or probabilities, have. been utilized for an approximation to the
truth—a statement of probabilities rather than actualities.

Ever since the publication of the statistics of the Tenth Census
regarding the white pine timber standing—nearly fifteen years—there
has been a contention as to their correctness. Time has proven their
extreme inaccuracy, for, while then only eight years’ supply was sup-
posed to be standing, when the annual cut was 10 billion feet, we have,
with an increased cut, lumbered white pine for sixteen years and still
there is a considerable quantity left.

Yet, at last, the end is visible, and even the most sanguine can not
longer hide the truth that within the next decade we shall witness the
practical exhaustion of this greatest staple of our lumber market.

As stated before, even now there are really no statistics upon which
to base a correct prognostication as to the date of this exhaustion.
Estimates only are available, and estimates of standing timber are pro-
verbially unreliable, mostly underestimates, and always to be taken
with caution. Furthermore, if an-estimate of the duration of supplies
of a special kind is to be made, it is necessary not only to know the
supplies and the present cut but also to foresee the changes in the cut,
the replacement in the market by other kinds, and the economies that
may be practiced in the methods of logging, as, for instance, by the
reduction in the size acceptable for saw logs, by cutting smaller trees,
by the use of band saws, and by closer utilization generally, whereby
the duration of supplies can be lengthened.

Thus, while the estimates of the Tenth Census were based on a mini-
mum log of, say, 10 or even 12 inches diameter, in the present practice
8-inch «1d even 5-inch logs are used; while in 1880 hemlock went beg-
ging and vhitewood had not yet been found to answer as a good substi-
tute for white pine, and Southern pine had not yet begun to compete,
the interchan, ‘eableness of all these species in the market now renders
the forecast sti! more complicated.

Nevertheless, it has become apparent that while white pine will be
cut in the United tates for many decades, as owners of the stumpage
control their holdings, the enormous amounts which have hitherto been
cut annually can not be had beyond the next five or six years, even
with Canada to help in eking out our deficiencies.

CONSUMPTION.

From the statistics of the cut since 1873, compiled by the North-
western Lumberman (see Appendix 1), it appears that since that year
the stupendous amount of 154 billion feet, B. M., and 83 billion shingles,
or altogether in round numbers 165 billion feet of white pine has been
cut in the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota; and this total
may be readily increased, by allowing for cuts in other parts of the coun-
try, to over 200 billion feet, B. M.,\which this single species has yielded

duce which continuously at least 20,000,000 acres of well-stocked and
well-kept pine forest would be required.

Divided for convenience and comparison into six-year periods, the cut
in the Northwest appears to have been as follows, according to the
source cited:

A total of 165 billion feet, B. M.

From 1873, when the cut was about 4 billion feet, the draft on this
resource was constantly increased until 1892, when it reached its maxi-
mum, nearly 9 billion feet, B. M., and 44 billion shingles. Then a gradual
decline began to 72 billion feet in 1893, 62 billion feet in 1894, rising once
more to over 7 billion in 1895, and reaching the lowest output in 1896,
with 53 billion feet; shingle production declining similarly to 14 billion,
which, translated into board measure, raises the requirements for that
year to little less than 74 billion feet. This decline does not necessa-
rily indicate any giving out of the supply, but might have been due,
and probably was due, to business depression generally and to the
competition of other kinds of lumber and shingles.

The total output of white pine in 1890, before the maximum was
reached and when the cut of the Northwest was recorded for lumber
and shingles as a little over 9 billion feet, was placed by the competent
agent of the Eleventh Census, in charge of the statistics of lumber
manufacture, at 11.3 billion feet of white pine and Norway pine, or
about 25 per cent as coming from other regions, while hemlock, spruce,
and fir were estimated as furnishing 7.9 billion feet, so that our require-
ments of these classes of timber may for ordinary years be placed in
round numbers at 20 billion feet.

In discussing the question of duration of supplies it can, as stated
before, be reasonably done only by considering at the same time all
supplies of a similar nature, namely of the white pine, Norway pine,
spruce, and hemlock at least, which can be and are used more or less
interchangeably, and will be still more so in the future, to meet our
immense requirements for this class of material. That these require-
ments are not to remain stationary, but have a tendency to increase,
may be seen from the development of the wood-pulp industry.

While in 1881 the daily capacity of wood-pulp mills was less than
750,000 pounds, it had more than doubled in 1887, and then increased
steadily, doubling almost every three or four years, as follows:

This last figure may be conservatively estimated to correspond to an
annual consumption of probably 800,000,000 feet, B. M., of material.

There was imported from 1891 to 1896 wood pulp to the value of
$10,337,659, as follows:

SUPPLIES.

While the above figure of 20 billion feet, B. M., gives a fair idea as to
average consumption, which may vary perhaps by 10 per cent one way
or the other, we are much less certain as to supplies standing.

For Minnesota the chief fire warden of the State has attempted a
canvass (see Appendix 2), the result of which would indicate nearly
18 billion feet as standing in the State, including Norway pine, the
estimate having been made for 1895. This has been criticised by com-
petent judges as much too high; nevertheless, adding the estimates of
all other kinds of coniferous wood, some of which as yet remains unused,
it is thought that a statement in round numbers of 20 billion feet of
coniferous wood in Minnesota fit for lumbering, though large, would be
reasonably enough near the truth for our purposes in forecasting the
probabilities.

For Wisconsin official data are entirely lacking; an estimate of 10
billion as the maximum stand of white pine and Norway pine has been
made by a competent lumberman. (See Appendix 3.) As there is
considerable hemlock and other coniferous wood in the State, and as it
is preferable to overstate, we may treble this amount and take 30 billion
feet, a probable overstatement of 50 per cent, as the maximum amount
of coniferous timber fit for lumbering standing in the State.

For Michigan a canvass from township to township has been made
by the commissioner of labor of the State for 1896 (see Appendix 4),
which develops an area of 24 million acres in pine and hemlock.

If the average stand per acre, which the census of 1890 showed as
6,000 feet for white pine, is applied to the whole area, the amount of
timber standing would be 15 billion feet, which, for safety, we may .
increase by 20 per cent, or say 18 billion feet, of which 6 billion would
be white pine. This, too, is supposed to overstate the conditions by 50
per cent.

For Pennsylvania the partial returns of the commissioner of forestry
would make an estimate of 10 billion feet pine and hemlock appear
highly extravagant. In a private communication he estimates the
standing timber of white pine at 500 million, of spruce at 70 million,
and of hemlock at 5,000 million feet, B. M.

For New York, without much basis, 5 billion may be allowed as an
extravagant figure, with a cut of not less than 500 million feet; another
3 billion for New Hampshire; and, with a closer estimate, based on
figures given by the forest commissioner of Maine, that State may be
given at best not to exceed 10 billion feet of spruce, pine, and hemlock.

It is well known that in the “ Pine Tree” State the white pine is long
Since reduced to a small proportion of the coniferous wood standing.

WHITE PINE TIMBER SUPPLIES. 5

The spruce country is confined to the elevated northern half of the
State, north of a line from the White Mountains to Mars Hill, with a
spruce-bearing area of probably less than 6,000 square miles. The
stand on the two main spruce-producing drainage basins, the Kennebec
and Androscoggin, has been estimated at round 5,000 million feet, B. M.,
with a present cut of round 350 million feet. Partial statistics of the
cut are given in Appendix 5, which would indicate a total cut of conif-
erous woods in Maine of not far from 500 million feet in 1895 and
preceding years.

In all these estimates of standing timber the writer has leaned
toward extravagance rather than understatement, and thus the total is
found to add up 100 billion feet of coniferous growth in the Northern
States, of which less than half is pine, to satisfy a cut of at least 18 to
20 billion feet per annum.

The writer does not say that in less than six years every stick of
pine, spruce, and hemlock will be cut, for such figures as these do not
admit of mathematical deductions, but the gravity of the question of
supply is certainly apparent. Even doubling the estimates, it is found
that, with the present rate and method of cutting, ten years must have
exhausted our virgin timber of these classes. We should add that much
more intimate knowledge exists now regarding these supplies than was
possible in 1880, when much of the country was still unopened and
unknown.

OTHER SUPPLIES.

The Southern pines, to be sure, will enter more largely into competi-
tion, as also the cypress and other coniferous woods of the South.

The entire region within which pines occur in the South in merchant-
able condition comprises about 230,000 square miles, or, in round num-
bers, 147,000,000 acres; for land in farms, 10 million acres must be
deducted, and allowing as much as two-thirds of the remainder as rep-
resenting pine lands (the other to hard woods), we would have about 90
million acres on which pine may occur. An average growth of 3,000
feet per acre—an extravagant figure when referred to such an area—
would make the possible stand 270 billion feet, provided it was in virgin
condition and not largely cut out or culled. Altogether, the writer has
reached the conclusion that, adding all other coniferous wood in the
South, an estimate of 300 billion feet would be extravagant, which,
added to the Northern supply of coniferous wood, gives a total supply
of 400 billion feet to draw from in the Eastern United States; and as
the entire cut of these classes of wood appears now to be not less than
25 billion feet a year, and probably is nearer 30 billion, it may be stated
with some degree of certainty that not fifteen to twenty years’ supply
of coniferous timber can be on hand in the Eastern States.

In 1886 the writer ventured a statement that there was 600 billion
feet of coniferous growth in the Eastern States; the cut was then esti-
mated at 12 billion feet. If an average cut of 20 billion for the last
ten years be allowed, which is reasonable, the present estimate of 400
billion standing would lend color to the approximate correctness of
these figures.

If the inquiry is extended to the coniferous growth of the Pacific
Coast, which in spite of the distance must finally come to our aid, only
partial comfort will be found. The writer’s estimate of 1,000 billion
feet standing has been by competent judges declared extravagant.
The annual cut on the Pacifie Coast approaches certainly 4 billion feet,

6 WHITE PINE TIMBER SUPPLIES.

hence, adding these figures to those obtained for the East, with 1,400
billion feet standing at best, and a cut of at least 30 billion feet per
annum, there would appear to be, under most favorable contingencies,
not more than forty to fifty years of this most necessary part of our
wood supply in sight if the same lavishness in the use of it is continued.

To be sure, there is Some new growth and reproduction going on. The
probability as to the former is that decay and destruction by fire offsets
the accretion on the old timber of coniferous growth, and no one familiar
with our forest conditions and present methods will indulge in a hope
that the reproduction and young growth can materially change the
results. Long before any new reproduction can have attained log size
we will have got rid of the virgin supplies.

ECONOMY.

There is, then, only the possible alternative of supplying ourselves
from other countries, or of curtailing our cut. In this latter regard
the possibility is large. Not only can a much closer utilization of the
standing timber be practiced, but a more economical use of the same is
reasonably to be expected.

As will appear from the figures given, this country consumes of conif-
erous wood somewhat over 400 feet, B. M., per capita, while England,
which probably has the lowest per capita consumption of wood among
civilized nations, being almost entirely dependent upon importation, is
able to get along with one-third that amount, and Germany’s consump-
tion remains below 150 feet, B. M., per capita of all kinds of sizeable
wood. The margin within which, therefore, we can curtail our require-
ment is large enough to lengthen out our supplies considerably.

CANADIAN SUPPLIES.

As to importations, there is practically only one country from which
such timber can be obtained—Canada.

The statistician of the department of agriculture of the Dominion of
Canada in 1895 estimated the white pine standing at 37.3 billion feet,
with an annual cut of nearly 2 billion feet, including spars, masts,
shingles, ete., which, as will readily be seen, can not materially change
the position stated before, namely, that the next decade must witness
the practical exhaustion of this greatest lumber staple. Even allowing
10 billion feet of merchantable spruce, which may be found in New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, such allowance can not appreciably retard
this exhaustion, since the total annual cut of Canadian coniferous
wood exceeds 5 billion feet. Fifty per cent may be readily added to
the estimates of standing timber in eastern Canada, thus assuming 75
billion feet as on hand, and still Canada’s cut alone will exhaust her
resources in fifteen years, and this country will assist her to get rid of
it in less time.

So far the importations from Canada, although rapidly increasing,
have been insignificant when compared with onr home consumption.
The importations of all kinds of forest products and wood manufac-
tures have been hardly over 1 per cent of our own production, and, if
we confine the inquiry to coniferous material only, the proportion of
the importation of this class of materials rises to hardly 5 per cent >
of our home production of the same kinds.

It will be seen that each six years’ period shows an increase, and that
the exports of the last three years were only 25 per cent lower than
those of the six preceding years. The largest imports were recorded
for 1894, when nearly 14 billion feet partly manufactured coniferous wood
and 300 million feet of logs of conifers were imported. This latter
importation increased steadily up to that time, furnishing raw material
mainly to our Michigan mills, whose home supply is largely gone.

In the importation of logs it is interesting to observe that they
increased in quantity without reference to the existence or absence of
the export duty which the Canadian Government imposed in 1886 and
abolished in 1891, and the price per M feet also seems uninfluenced.
The necessity for these supplies to our mills, especially the mills of the
Saginaw (Michigan) district, began to assert itself in 1886, the very
year the export duty was imposed to prevent, if possible, these exports
of raw material, and has grown constantly, the decline in 1895 and 1896
simply marking the general business depression.

It will be evident from these statements that our virgin coniferous
supplies must share the fate which the buffalo has experienced, unless
a practical application of rational forestry methods and a more economic
use of supplies is presently inaugurated. Since coniferous wood repre-
sents two-thirds to three-fourths of our entire lumber wood consumption,
and its reproduction requires more care and longer time than that of
hard woods, the urgency of changing methods in its use and treatment
will be apparent.
